A reservation system seems like the kind of thing that'd show up often enough at various federal, state, and local levels for there to be enough value in the GSA just building their own, providing integrations into their US Web Design System so that it's easy for orgs to add, and offering it at cost to the orgs or facilities that need it.
- grogenaut 3y agoDoes the GSA code anything? does the Govt? For all this stuff isn't it all contract? What I'd hope for in a situation like this is that it's a term contract and the code stays with the govt but really do you want to take over someone else's code?
- plasma_beam 3y agoThey do..login.gov is probably the best current example and is ever expanding usage throughout federal sites. But GSA has also been under the microscope in the past couple years. Login.gov has received a lot of flak. They’re unlikely to take on another big “build it and they will come” project like a reusable reservation system. They make money off other agencies and those agreements need to be signed before the work starts.. Now all that said..contractors work on login.gov too and are prob the majority of the staff now!
- ls612 3y agoWhat’s wrong with login.gov? I only used it to handle my Global Entry application process but it sure felt like a good SSO solution.
- grogenaut 3y agologin.gov is a lot better than id.me that's for sure. didn't know gsa made it. Can they help the IRS not use id.me and receive files over any mechanism but mail and fax?
